ANNAPOLIS. MD, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY "a 1887.


When Mexican lady opens her house
to company she does not feel bound to
provide her guests with an expensive and
abundant variety of refreshments. She
presumes they come to dance, converse
and enjoy themselves to discrimi-
nate between granizedo frozen drinks)
amntecadas Gee creamsl, Roman punch
and jellies, and then complain to all their
friends and acquaintance the next day
that everything was scantily supplied and
was so stale that it made them sick all
night. The Mexican hostess simply has
her servants hand around trays of glasses
filed with sparkling water or with san
gria--a very refreshing draught COM
posed of equal portions of wine and
water, with sugar ad hbitum and suffi-
cient lemon juice to give it pungent
flavor.
Frequently each glass of water is ac-
companied by a porous stick or mass Of
crystallized sugar slightly favored with
lemon juice. 1t dissolves instantaneously
in water, affording most grateful and
refreshing drink. These sugar sticks are
known by different names in different
Mexican cities, being variously called
dolados, esponjados, azucarilos and pam
ales. No headaches or stomachic pains
are caused by Mexican tertulias. They
afford an excellent opportunity to take
terpsichorean exercise and get up an appe-
tite. Then everybody is free to go home
and take a late supper, meal that every
Mexican prefers to eat in his own house,
as he would renounce the most richly
spread table at which etiquette would
compel him to keep his coat on his back
in favor of his frijolies Oceans cooked in
oiD and radishes in his shirt. Kansas

Two little boys were playing by the
roadside as the nav master passed along.
They hid behind a board fence and
peeped out as the genial faced man came
wIistling along, twirling flower in his
hand, watching with interest some birds
in tree above them. One little fellow
took in the human side Of the stranger at
q glance. exclaiming: ssNo, Bob, that
amt the master; it's man. Yes,
my boy, I am a man as wei as the
master and he picked up the little
fellow and lifted hin up as high as his
arms could carry him, and as he rolled
him over On the grass in roIlicking way
he said: III always be q man IN the
eyes Of the boys If ! can. II i not easy

Until parents cease teaching their chill
dren that it is more honorable to gain
bread without soiling their hands than by
honest labor the drawback must continue.
Young men will be taught law who
would probably excel making the calf
which covers. the book which they study;
others will WELD the scalpel with hands
that might betray more cunning in forg
ing the steel from which it is made;
some will keep accounts of goods sold
who instead should employ themselves in
mailing the boxes in which they are
packed. Fitness will not be considered.
The only aim will be to make a genteel
living by doing as little work as possible.
The sooner parents awake to the fact that
the best they can do by their sons is to
cause them to learn trade the better for
the country. Unless boy displays an
especial aptitude for one of the learned
professions he should be put at something
else. Application may be an excellent
substitute for genius, but it viii be found
that when the two are combined the pos
SCISSOR of the former has but poor show
in the race with his doubly armed rival.
Clerking, too, is overdone, and it is a
poor mechanic indeed that does not de-
rive more comfort from his wages than
the illy-paid clerk who is compelled to
spend all he earns on dress. Taking it
all in ALL we may advise, by para
phrasing Shakespeare, and say a trades
the thing. Reflection viii convince that
we are not far out of the way in saying
so.-BoSton Budget.

A EIghi Of ANXIETY al Charleston

y CHARLESTON, >. o., Sept. L.
There is general rejoicing in Charles
town today. The weather is bright
aad braclng, and the city seems as il
a great weight had been lifted from
it. The anniversary of the earth
quake passed off without a single
shake. Very few people in the city
slept last night, the repetition of
the shock on the 9th, and several
shocks afterwards, looked very
much like there was to be repeti.
tion of the disaster of August 81.
1856. Most of the cOlOred people
spent the night in churches or in
open.air religious meetings. The
streets we're deserted before Top VI.
and very few white people went to
bed at all, most of them sitting up
the entire night. Charleston is
entirely rebuilt, over a., 200, 900 hav-
ing been expended in building IN
twelve months, and very cheerful
Keeling now prevails. The pros
poets of the crops are splendid
md everything indicates a big bust
less boom.

we're all specimens sent out by the

There were blank checks on

was found, and that was engraved

A FEARFUL HOLOCAUST IN ENGLAND.
THE DEATH LIST WILL REACH ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The victims
by the burning of the Theatre Roy
al at Exeter last night were mostly
work people. AS soon as the flames
we're extinguished a large force of
men began searching for the bodies.
The stairway leading to the gallery
was literally packed with bodies,
while at the head of the stairs there
were scores of others, piled one on
top of each other. The unfortunate
victims had rushed to the door when
the alarm was given, but found the
stairway blocked and all means OF
escape cut off. In short time the
flames had reached them and they
suffered a horrible death. There
we're pitifuI scenes in the vicinity
of the burned theatre this morning,
as friends and relatives of the sup
posed victims gathered, awaiting
the recovery of the bodies. In many
cases father and mother both per
ished and numerous children are
thus lett without means of support.
Several bodies were burned so that
only small cinders remained. The
number of persons severely injured
is sixty. 1t is feared that the death
list will reach $50.
1t has been ascertained that there
we're two hundred persons occupy
ing seats in the gallery. OF these
over one hundred lost their lives.
Search for the bodies still goes on.
1t is very probable that the total
number of deaths will never be as
certained, owing TO the tart thaot
many of the OOdles were completely
calcined. Two stalls Of "A stable be-
longing to the hotel adjacent to the
theatre are filed with remains that
it is impossible to identify.
Most of the killed were adults,
chiefly men. But few children per
ished.
The municipal authorities held a
special meeting to-day, and ar
ranged for the interment OF all uni
Identified bodies.

THE SALE OF THE B. & 0. EXPRESS.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The Bal
timore and Ohio Express to-day
passed into the hands of the Uni
ted States Express Company, and
their employees were notified of the
change. There will be for the
present, at least, no change in the
employees, and reports will be
made to the general manager, as
heretofore. Speaking Of the sale,
Mr.. John X. Cowan, counsel for
the Baltimore and Ohio Company
said: "The statement that the
Baltimore and Ohio Express has
been sold to the United States Ex-
press Company is not correct,
There has been simply a contract
entered into between the two com
panies by which the Uuited States
Express Company is to run the
Baltimore and Ohio Express for
thirty years, for which the former
company is to pay the latter com.
pany a certain percentage of the
earnings He declined to say
what the percentage will be.
The fact is pretty well establish
ed that the Baltimore and Ohio OBJ
tanned for It's express Sl,000,0O0 in
cash and S1,5O0,0OO of the stock of
the United Express Company at
par. The New York Sun tells how
the money was raised. 1t says:
''The United States pays for the
property with S3,00O,000 par value
of its own stock. To do this it has
Increased its capital stock from
81, 100000 to Sl0,0O0,00O, and 1t
asked the Stock Exchange to list
-ew stock. Messrs. Brice,
and some of their associates
re formed a syndicate which has
purchased from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company $4,000
shares, or one.half of the 10000
shares of United States Express
stock that it receives for the sale of
its express business. The price
paid by the syndicate is understood
TO be about $50 per share. At any
rate, the cash payment made on
account of the transaction was, in
round figures, 81 100000"
1t is now generally believed here
that the sale of the express is not
the last of the deals of the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad Company.
Special dispatches from New York
render it conclusive to the minds
of many prominent business men
that the telegraph system of the
company will soon pass into other
hands, if the negotiations are not
already concluded. The impress
sion also prevails that Mr.. Garrett
is anxious to dispose of the road,
aud the announcement of the sale
at any time will create no surprise
here.
New YORK, September after
a long conference of capitalists at
the Office OF Drexel, Morgan &
Co., yesterday. the following was
issued by the firm named: A pre-
liminary contract has been execut.
ed today between the Baltimore

REPUBLICAN DEFEAT PREDICTED.
Do you think this element will

direction indicated
Yes. / know every legitimat

influence on the primary meetings.
1t would have been far prefenble
that a State convention shnld
have been held, for then all ma ters
of difference might have been ully
discussed and every chance tsken
for removing the causes. Asst is,
there is nothing lett but submission
OF direct appeal to the People
and the latter will be made insome
form. OF course, it will be said
that all such movements are direct.
ed primarily to the defeat ofGen.
Malone; but in my judgment
without some such movement not
only General Malone, but-wich
is of infinitely more impOrtane in
every eye save that of the tate
Executive Committee til Be-
publican party must be oveaH len
by a defeat practically irreEabl lie,
in which General Malone goulld

not consider the ele44 ~

both State and party miShtpaot
survive his reelection. Neithd Of
these things would be true wei it
true that the Administration cfthe
United States Government for he
coming six years depended uponl
the next Senator from Virginia.
The desideratum is that the sma.
torship shall not be seized by the
throat by anybody, and that tie
Republicans shall choose their Own
members of the Legislature, AM
thereby, if they have a majority
their own senator, whether 1t b
